July was another record month for us.
Up 25% across the board. Over 5,000 unique customers in the store, 8,000 online. For the first time, online passed in-store.
We're on pace for $8M+ this year.
Here's the part nobody puts in the announcement post: I'm frustrated.
Our average order value in-store was $51. Last year, when our customer base was a fraction of this size, we were routinely doing $90+. Nothing about our customers changed. What changed is that allocation and limited product mean I no longer have enough on the shelf to sell them.
The math is brutal. Same customers, same traffic, same everything — get AOV back to $90 and that's another $200K a month. I'm not losing that to competition. I'm losing it to empty space.
So the bottleneck isn't demand. It's supply.
If you have sealed, singles, or slabs to move — collections, estate inventory, consignment, shops winding down, distributors with allocation to place — I want to talk. We're buying, and we pay fairly and fast.
Growing this fast and being told "no product available" is a good problem to have. It's still a problem.
Who's got inventory?
